IDW Publishing (also known as IDW Comics and Idea & Design Works) is an American comic book company founded in 1999 by Robbie Robbins and Ted Adams, specializing in comics based on TV and movie franchises, such as CSI, Angel, Galaxy Quest, and 24. The company currently holds the licenses for Original Series, Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine comics, as well as comics set in the alternate reality of Star Trek, and began releasing issues in 2007. Following a successful run of miniseries, four releases in 2008 were announced under the umbrella title Star Trek: Second Stage (although this title only appeared on issues of Turnaround).

Sales charts

Due to the nature of comic sales, diminishing returns with each succeeding issue are a general trend, and do not necessarily denote a series is failing.

These figures denote sales to comic specialty stores in the United States via Diamond Comics Distributors. IDW also distribute through other retail channels (including its website) and these are not reflected in the numbers provided in this article. Numbers provided by ICv2.com and CBR. Percentages are rounded to one decimal place.

Footnotes

↑ 3.03.13.2Sales figures for an anthology work like Alien Spotlight or Captain's Log vary significantly, depending on the individual subject matter.

↑ 4.04.1This figure represents combined sales figures from May and June 2008. A problem with IDW deliveries to Diamond's distribution center saw this issue's release to stores on the US East Coast delayed by one week, taking it into June.

↑This late March release appeared in April's sales charts. There is, therefore, the possibility of some sales in March that were below that month's Top 300 threshold of ~2,100 copies.

↑This late December 2009 release appeared in January 2010's sales charts. There is the distinct possibility of additional sales in December that were below that month's Top 300 threshold of ~3,400 copies.
